A child dying would be too much I think.
I think Sharon only went through with this pregnancy because Phil found out and persuaded her to go ahead. I think she would have had an abortion if he hadn't got wind of it , but he wanted another child.

itsgettingweird · 19/02/2020 16:14

I feel the same soup about youngsters.

Also don't want them to kill off newborn baby, Daniel, Leo or Keanu as think that'll be lazy writing.

Newborn baby - not a character (yet!)
Daniel - we know he's dying anyway.
Keanu - I thought he'd left anyway!
Leo - we already assume he's dead!

I also wouldn't want it to be a ex because I think the drugs storyline and Dotty encouraging her could be a good one and something with a nice PSA involved. One that's better than bins anyway!

Or Karen, Shirley, Stuart or Raine - because they are comical characters who I enjoy watching.

Or Sharon, Kathy, Phil or Ian because I don't think a big character should go in the anniversary week.

Hopefully that still leaves them a few options for dead people!

Sorry Soup I probably worded that confusingly, I know that the baby was conceived in the garage with Ken. I only mentioned the double session with Phil to put that image back in your head in my evil way. Grin

tobee · 19/02/2020 16:18

Do they usually kill off someone who's had a lot of big storylines recently? To underline how they will be missed? Not sure Ian's in that category right now despite Bobby and Peter.

By the way, I was gassing when the stuff about Lauren came up. What did Jack say she was up to? (Can't imagine Jac Jossa coming back btw. Not yet anyway)

Mrsjayy · 19/02/2020 16:33

I wouldn'twant Kush or tina the woble to die they just toddle along in the background be nice,

Mrsjayy · 19/02/2020 16:45

SoupDragon · 19/02/2020 17:10

All Jack said about Lauren was that she'd left Peter (again 🙄) and he'd sent her money I think.

qazxc · 19/02/2020 17:15

I usually hate seeing children die on screen but will make an exception for spawn of Satan Denny.
Sharon will then stay at Ian's until she discovers the phone message.

Mrsjayy · 19/02/2020 17:16

So did Lauren go to New zealand? Or was Peter back in England when she left.

qazxc · 19/02/2020 17:20

I could only remember her walking off at the cemetary. but a quick google informs me that apparently Cora had then said she went to New Zealand.

MrHodgeymaheg · 19/02/2020 17:24

Been following this thread through this week.

I'm thinking a number of options:

Leo does the usual EE thing and isn't dead-dead and attacks Sonia.

Stuart fell over the edge when the boat crashed as he was having a vomit over the side.

Tina goes back in and drowns trying to save Mick n L.

Kush, Kat or Martin? There needs to be a storyline that brings Stacey back, so this could be it. I would have thought most likely Kush out of these three.

I did think Patrick or Deinse for a while (it would bring Kim back maybe, although not sure if she is set to return as she has been away ages. I guess she is gone-gone now!) It would seem silly setting up the Isaac story to kill off Patrick though.

I think it would be crap if it is Denny or Keanu. Denny's character is vile, but still a 13 year old boy. Same for Bex, it seems a lot of young people get killed off in Eastenders and these characters could come back later on and provide links to the past. Keanu would be an anti climax. If Sharon's baby died that really would be depressing and might put me off watching again tbh.

I've basically just listed the entire cast. I'm definitely no Sherlock!

If I could think of a cast member who might want to go and do other things, I would most likely say Kellie Bright, so maybe it will be her. She is quite a big character to kill off though.

APatchyTomCat · 19/02/2020 17:26

I think Stuart as they made a point of him and Raine being replacements for Jean and Daniel.

PattiPrice · 19/02/2020 17:59

Stewart would be a big loss to EE. I wonder if the only person dressed as a pirate would be the one who drowns trying to save his old friend /foe Mick and Linda? I can think of many I wouldn’t even notice leaving but Stewart is a complex character and a very good one.

southeastdweller · 19/02/2020 18:01

I think and hope it's the most miserable teenager in London who dies this week - Bex.

tobee · 19/02/2020 18:02

Talking of the worrying looking Sharon birth situation, dd says she remembers Janine in her wedding dress about to marry Michael and seeing blood on it. And maybe ended up having to have a c section and baby was early? I barely remember this myself.

nancy75 · 19/02/2020 18:05

Given that Bobby has been beaten to a pulp & is currently having life saving surgery, I wonder if anyone has informed Jane.
It’s quite strange that Bobby, who is in to forgiveness & being nice hasn’t tried to make amends for beating the shit out of her

tobee · 19/02/2020 18:11

To be fair to Bex, she has a hard time of it with Sonia as a mum. On top of the usual EE traumas.

JuanSheetIsPlenty · 19/02/2020 18:37

Agree with comments about it being disjointed and not coming across very well. They’ve done much better before, like New Years even and Ronnie/Roxy as mentioned upthread.

Also it’s just totally not believable that’s Ian would go on the boat while his son was having surgery on his brain!

Also not believable that Denny was on the boat. Why would a 13/14 year old be there? Confused

I wondered if philth on boat to kidnap Denny. Ben has sharon. Or had her at gunpoint. Phil takes Denny, calls ben, Ben tells sharon and makes her call ken so he releases Callum. It’s a round the houses way of doing it but tbh they’re doing a lot of weird stuff on these episodes.

icecreamsundae32 · 19/02/2020 18:39

Oooh good shout about Stuart the pirate! @PattiPrice

Mrsjayy · 19/02/2020 18:48

Denny on the boat is ridiculous surely they would notice a 13 year old in the corner downing G&Ts but maybe he is there to be killedoff.

BettyBooJustDoinTheDoo · 19/02/2020 18:57

I miss Little Lord Fauntleroy Denny!
